Mediation

We provide a process and leadership in helping the individuals in these situations discuss and reach resolution while also preserving or restoring the relationship necessary for effective work together. CRG offers an alternative in which disputes are settled in a biblically faithful manner.  The service helps the parties resolve the substantive issues while addressing the relational issues, seeking to preserve or repair the relationships broken due to the conflict. The mediation process follows The Rules of Procedure for Christian Conciliation.

Mediation/Arbitration

We provide a process and leadership in helping the individuals in these situations discuss and reach resolution while also preserving or restoring the relationship necessary for effective work together. CRG offers an alternative in which disputes are settled in a biblically faithful manner. Mediation is the first step, followed by arbitration if mediation is unsuccessful. The service helps the parties resolve the substantive issues while addressing the relational issues, seeking to preserve or repair the relationships broken due to the conflict. The mediation/arbitration process follows The Rules of Procedure for Christian Conciliation.

Arbitration

Arbitration is the process available in the event mediation does not resolve all of the material or substantive claims. It is a legally binding process, which follows The Rules of Procedure for Christian Conciliation. Arbitration is a cooperative, non-adversarial process that allows the parties to fully present their factual information and legal precedents and guidelines, with or without the assistance of attorneys. The Arbitrator renders a legally binding and enforceable decision.

Assistance is Confidential

The parties and the conciliators must agree at the outset that, with few exceptions, the conciliators will not be asked to divulge information outside of the conciliation process or the ecclesiastical structure of the parties’ churches. In particular, they may not be subpoenaed to testify in subsequent legal proceedings (see Rules 16 and 17 of the Rules of Procedure). The parties are required to commit to not divulging information to people who do not have a necessary and legitimate interest in the conflict.
